    The place loses its initial charm

    That’s the cycle more or less. You can apply it to internet or to other things. You can look at the privacy aspect, at the freedom or any other.

    The internet was taken over by gigant corporations and had it’s former soul sucked out of it.

    VR Chat is still a place without that much moderation or corporate control. I wouldn’t say it’s mainstream but facebook already tried taking over that space.

    You can even find this in real places like America.
    People who could get there were free, could start a new life. Then the USA became just another country with (not a corporation but) a government there to “moderate” people and spy on them and eventually become a global superpower.

    That’s all i had to say. I know it’s slightly off topic but i really think its important. This is the video that made me think about all of this https://youtu.be/4PHT-zBxKQQ
